Later this year, I am going to be spending 11 weeks (21th Aug 17 – 4th Nov 17) riding from the Northern point of Japan (Soya Misaki) to Sourthern point of Kyushu (Sata Misaki). I picked these dates so that the weather won’t be too hot in the south or too cold in the north. The trip will start with a couple of days in Tokyo, and a couple of days climbing Mt Fuji, before flying to Wakkanai on the 24th of August to start riding from the north to the south. The last week of the trip will be spent hiking on Yakushima.
I'm 26, Australian (don't hold that against me). Speak/Read enough Japanese to get by.
For the trip, there is currently 2 of us going, an American girl and myself.
The intended speed during the trip will be an easy slow pace of 15-20km/h during the trip, I myself are much faster than this, but my American buddy, is only new to cycling, only starting last year, so 15-20km/h is the estimated pace . I’m also pretty good amateur bicycle mechanic, I can fix just about any problem.
I should also say, that during the tour I plan to camp and stay in hotels/guesthouses, since pre-made food is cheap, I don’t plan on cooking any meals, and just buy what I need along the way.
For the trip, I will be taking my custom 2017 Kona Sutra, touring bike, with Shimano XT T8000 groupset, or my custom Carbon cyclocross bike, with Ultegra Di2 groupset
If you’re interested let me know and we can chat a bit more.
